S. Tokino et al., LAUNDERING SHRINKAGE OF WOOL FABRIC TREATED WITH LOW-TEMPERATURE PLASMAS UNDER ATMOSPHERIC-PRESSURE, Journal of the Society of Dyers and Colourists, 109(10), 1993, pp. 334-335
Wool fabrics have been treated with helium/argon and acetone/argon low
-temperature plasmas under atmospheric pressure. The plasma-treated fa
brics were laundered several times and their shrink resistances invest
igated according to standard methods. Very high levels of shrink resis
tance to laundering were obtained through use of these treatments.
